Chapter 577 Spending a Lot

Of course, the idea of ​​building roads has been in his mind for a long time, but now Tang En has the conditions to realize it.

Fiona frowned slightly, and then said slowly: "I have written it down, what next?"

"Then I will establish the Ministry of Education, with Olina in charge, and immediately start formulating a unified education system."

Olina next to her was stunned for a moment: "Ministry of Education?"

The ruling class here in Purandar is not the same as the European Middle Ages on earth. The European Middle Ages were feudal feudal systems. The knights were loyal to the lords, the lords were loyal to the king, and the king was loyal to the theocracy. However, they usually operated independently. There was no vertical management system, and the king had no contact with them. to the lower level officials.

As for the Illus Empire, which is in the transition period from the feudal era to the capitalist era, the current division of government management is also very confusing. It is neither a feudal system (which has been terminated by Victor) nor a responsibility system. There are no clear departments. The only one that is relatively clear is the tax department, where a dedicated tax minister is responsible for managing tax officials in various places.

The other one is the army. After the Great Purge, the army has been completely controlled by Aubrey and Adrian. They fully support Tang En, which means that the military power is firmly in Tang En's hands.

So now the question arises: Can a country without a sound management system develop rapidly?

Obviously not.

But the trouble is that when Tang En was on Earth, it was too troublesome to deal with various departments in the company, let alone study the government system. He only had a vague impression of the mature government system on Earth. .

Tang En does not have a fool-like system, nor a super-era brain, nor a cross-world Google or Wiki, nor a photographic memory. If the gods had not created this body for him, he would be the most ordinary and ordinary person. Earth traveler, save the world? Whether he can survive or not is a question.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to simply pull up a complete government team and push the entire Illus Empire from top to bottom into the capitalist era and implement the democratic voting system. All he can do now is based on what he usually hears when watching the news. The vague impressions barely set up a framework.

"The Ministry of Education is the department responsible for resident education. It appoints or removes a minister of education who is directly responsible to the king and queen. At the same time, he will be responsible for formulating the education system."

Tang En explained briefly and then said: "It's similar to the Ellington College we established in Ellington. Didn't I appoint you as the principal to be responsible for Ellington College? This principal is responsible to the Minister of Education. If something goes wrong, feedback can be given from the bottom up.”

Olina suddenly realized: "I understand."

"But our foundation is too weak now, so I will come up with a rough framework for this and hand it over to you. You will be directly responsible for it, and then we will slowly cultivate the corresponding talents."

This is the helpless reality. Even if Tang En could build a framework based on the mature government system on earth, there would be no suitable talents - because those people have no idea what they should do in that position.

"Um."

Olena nodded, and Alleria suddenly interrupted: "Queen Mother, you can go to Dean Byron for help."

Olina's eyes lit up: "Yes! How could I forget about him even more?"

Byron Ducard is the dean of the Illrus Royal Military Academy. This military academy is also the closest place to a school that Tang En has heard of so far.

It's a pity that they only train nobles, and they train them as military talents. What they teach is all about combat command, which has nothing to do with social sciences, industry, agriculture and other things.

But there is no doubt that Byron has rich educational experience, and he can then be slowly cultivated to become the first Minister of Education.

"You can think of whoever you want to ask for help, as long as it's reliable."

Tang En waved his hand and said: "In addition to the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Finance must be established to be responsible for macro-control of the country's economic conditions. Of course, the main responsibility is to supervise currency issuance, conduct market control, and prohibit market monopoly."

Alleria's eyes lit up, this Ministry of Finance is great! If it can work, it will prevent the country's economy from being controlled by the nobles in the future. As long as the economic lifeline is not controlled and the military power is in their hands, it will be useless no matter how much trouble the nobles make.

“Then there’s the Department of Agriculture, and I’m tentatively considering Grandia as agriculture minister.”

"Grandia?"

Alleria was startled and said hesitantly: "But she is an elf..."

"What about the elves? As long as they can help us develop stably, the elves can still use them if they have talents."

Alleria said silently: "No, I mean her lifespan is too long..."

"..."

Tang En twitched the corner of his mouth. This is true. If the world is not destroyed, if human officials can work until they retire at the age of sixty, it is estimated that Grandia can work until the end of the world...

The reason why Tang En considers Grandia is to give the elves a chance to integrate into society. She will be a typical example. Once people accept Grandia, he can promote more elves to important positions in the future. position.

To put it bluntly, he trusts the elves more than humans.

"Grantia is still the best, she is the most suitable. The main task of the Ministry of Agriculture is to develop agriculture. Agriculture is the foundation of everything. Only when people can have full stomachs can they create greater value, so the Ministry of Agriculture is very important. "

"And then there's..."

Tang En spoke eloquently. As he spoke, Alleria took notes. Although Tang En only mentioned many places, they brought great inspiration to her, which made her yearn for Tang En's original features even more. The world we live in.

That must be a very wonderful world.

In this way, during the lunch break, a simple and rough but effective administrative framework was set up. Tang En was mainly responsible for giving them guidance and reminders. He basically didn't care much about the specific appointment and removal of personnel. The only requirement was that the other party was reliable. .

After all, his mission in this world is not to be a ruler, but to be a hero who saves the world.

If he didn't need the status of king to integrate the resources of the Illus Empire and fully develop the magic project, he would be too lazy to be a king, it would be useless.

To hell with politics and all that.

After lunch, Galian met with Tang En in the study. They were the only two in the room.

"My sincere congratulations, Your Majesty."

Gallian made a very exaggerated 90-degree salute. If Tang En hadn't stopped him, this unscrupulous guy would have probably rushed up to kiss his boots.

"Garyon, no need to be polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Galian stood up, adjusted his collar, and then grinned: "I didn't expect that you would become the king of the Illrus Empire after only a few days of seeing you. It's really incredible."

Tang En looked at Galian with a smile: "This world is always full of miracles, isn't it?"

"certainly!"

Gallian chuckled: "Then Your Majesty, are you summoning me here to inquire about that road? If that is the case, I am honored to tell you that the road has been completely repaired!"

Tang En was stunned for a moment: "Did you complete the repair? So quickly?"

“The potential of money is endless.”

"I agree with that."

Tang En nodded, and then said: "This news surprises me, but I think my news will surprise you even more."

Gallian's eyes lit up: "Big business?"

"Not bad, big business."

Tang En smiled slightly, looked at Galian meaningfully and said, "Do you remember what I talked to you about before? There were no conditions at that time, but now there are conditions. I think we can start."

"You mean, the road construction plan?"

"Yes, I want the entire road network to cover the entire Illrus Empire. I want every village and every town to be covered by roads. I want people to travel without any hindrance."

Tang En looked down at Galian: "Can you decide what happens next in this business?"

Galian calculated the cost and income in his mind, his face turned red, his heart beat rapidly, and he breathed quickly: "Your Majesty, this is a big business and it will cost a lot of gold coins. If it is all advanced by our Star Diamond Bank, we will be under a lot of pressure. ah……"

Gallian knew very well the financial situation of the Illrus Empire and Ellington. It was impossible for Twain to afford this money, and it was impossible for Star Diamond Bank to advance it in full.

The first line has not yet started operation, so Star Diamond Bank has not yet seen the economic potential of the toll highway. If it rushes to advance funds to pave a large area of ​​roads at this time, Levitz will tear him apart if he loses money. Peeled.

Talk to me about money? vulgar!

I’m not short of money now!

Tang En smiled proudly: "How many gold coins? Tell me the number."

Gallian held up three fingers.

"Three hundred million?"

Tang En breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he was okay and could still afford it.

Then Gallian gave him a blow in the head.

"No, Your Majesty, it's three billion."

"Three billion!? Do you know how much three billion gold coins weigh!?"

Tang En was suddenly stunned. An Ilrus gold coin weighed about three grams. Three billion gold coins equaled three thousand tons of gold. Although the planet Purandar was larger than the earth, Tang En How much gold reserves did China have on Earth at the time of time travel? It’s less than 10,000 tons!

This damn road would cost one-third of China’s national gold reserves! ?

Of course, gold coins are not pure gold. A small amount of magic iron and fine gold are mixed into the gold coins in proportion to increase the magic affinity. Special magic props can be used to test the authenticity, so the actual value of a gold coin is higher than that made of pure gold. Even more expensive.

"Your Majesty, three billion is not much at all."

Gallian said calmly: "Do you know how many gold coins our Star Diamond Bank invested in building the Ellington-Bein-Preston-Paganis highway?"

"How many?"

"Nearly 30 million gold coins. This is due to our careful planning and careful planning, which saved a lot of unnecessary expenses. If you need it, we can provide detailed accounts at any time."

Galian spread his hands and said: "The cost is a small amount, the important thing is the labor and the magic crystal consumed by the magic energy machine, and the cost of asking the dragon clan to take action. You should know how big their appetite is."

Tang En was speechless.

Because the Dragon Clan’s money-grubbing character is indeed well known to everyone.
